Default My first Vivarium

For several months I have wanted a terrarium of some sort to grow orchids in, well three weeks ago I started looking into getting a vivarium and this is what I found.

Exo-Terra 24"x24"x18"glass vivarium with doors in front that open out, a really good light made for tank, light has two T-5 lights and also added outlets for halogen which I don't think I will use. I am waiting on a fan to come in the mail and a digital temp./RH meter.

I also have to order some epiweb and other media for this.

Hooked a fogger to the back and also had to have some Plexiglas cut to make screen top that came with unit more air tight

I want to grow mini orchids and that elusive ghost frog orchid in here. with the fog and the great light, the water at bottom of tank it just might work.

I am going to post videos on Youtube soon, so look back for links.
